Talk:George Hennard

Worst mass murder
I removed the line about it being the worst mass murder in US history, see for example The Battle of Antietam. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.226.99.222 (talk • contribs) 01:46, November 8, 2005 (UTC)


 * That is so silly that you removed that line and used a war time battle as the reason.Dedgar1240 17:33, 17 April 2007 (UTC)David Edgar


 * Yes. Unsourced POV pushing makes Baby Jimbo cry. Moot point now anyway since Virginia Tech massacre. -- Satori Son 17:51, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Theme song
Hennard considered his theme song to be Steely Dan's 1976 song "Don't Take Me Alive". - Source? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.108.179.157 (talk • contribs) 21:33, October 16, 2006 (UTC)


 * I see it has now been removed, and rightly so. -- Satori Son 17:51, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Number of deaths
The article says: "...he had killed twenty-two people and fatally injured another two victims, who later died of their wounds. ... ... Suzanna Gratia Hupp's parents were among the 23 killed by Hennard in the attack." This says to me 24 were dead. Is it 23 or 24? Also, "fatally injured... who later died" that's redundant to me. I'll edit that once the number is cleared up. --Kvasir 00:51, 18 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Small point, but I agree regarding the passage "...fatally injured another two victims, who later died of their wounds", that it is redundant. The phrase "fatally injured" is completely unambiguous about whether the victims died, and consequently the ending clause adds exactly zero new information. It only manages to make the sentence sound clumsy, due to its redundancy. Am I missing something? -- MisterSquirrel
